Dept. 7 Adv. Class Update: The Unbound Soul

Are your sins so hideous you know that when you finally die that you'll burn forever, and you would do anything to cheat God's judgment? Or do you love life so much, that you'll become something other than human in order to keep seeing new mornings, watching history unfold as an outsider? Or are the final sensations of death so ecstatic that you'll do anything to feel them again and again and again?

No matter your reasons, you've taken one step beyond: you've become an Unbound Soul, an immortal being that doesn't die like other men. The body you were born with isn't a vital part of you, it is merely a vehicle for your soul, which you can abandon in extremes, for convienience, or in seeking a moment's pleasure. Your restless, indestructible soul is bound to mortal life with your Psychopomp Cords, arcane ribbons, spiritual containment systems that tie you to this existence, and are the source of your cruel powers.

Dept. 7 Adv. Class Update: The Unbound Soul is a short supplement from Skorched Urf? Studios. The zipped file is almost four megabytes in size, and contains a single PDF. The file is eight pages long, including a page for the cover and one for the OGL. [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
